When the Supreme Court overturned Roe, Roberts concurred but thought the social ramifications were too severe, and so the overturn was ill advised. I take Garland's decision in a similar light. By the book, but ill advised and tone deaf. And I'm still wondering if Trump baited it into happening.

Well, the ones you get for free are. Our stuff is a bit better, but you still have a high negative rate on the lateral flow stuff.

It's an idea I am resistant to on a societal basis. On an emotional basis I have seen an awful lot of people whose lives, if you could call them that, went on far longer than they should have in any fair world.

Some very worthy people out there sacrifice everything to get the Thing, and never get it. Others get the Thing and ask, "is this all there is?" I've watched this one a couple of times by now.
